Vancouver, British
Columbia / ACCESSWIRE / June 11, 2014 /
Aston Bay Holdings Ltd. (TSX-V: BAY) ("Aston Bay" or the "Company")
is pleased to announce that further to its news
release of April 24, 2014, the Company has amended the Memorandum
of Understanding ("MOU") with Lyncorp International Ltd.
("Lyncorp"), a company wholly-owned by David Mullen, to purchase
equipment including four Christensen CS10 Core Drills and all
associated equipment (the "Equipment").
Aston Bay and
Lyncorp have agreed to modify the payment terms, such that the
Company will pay $300,000 in cash by July 10, 2014; $325,000 in
cash by August 10, 2014; and $375,000 in cash or stock (valued on
the previous 10-day weighted average prior to the date of payment),
which is to be made by July 10, 2015. The amended payment terms
allow for less effective dilution of the Company's stock, which is
currently trading higher than on the date of the original
MOU.
The closing of the
transaction will now take place after the end of the period of
exclusivity between the Company and a major mining company, as
previously announced on May 26, 2014.
The amended MOU
will be superseded by a definitive agreement that will be entered
into by Aston Bay and Lyncorp, and will be subject to receipt of
TSX Venture Exchange approval. Closing of the acquisition is also
subject to, among other things, receipt of an appraisal for the
Equipment and confirmation that title to the Equipment is in good
standing. A submission for TSX Venture Exchange approval for the
acquisition of the Equipment will be made following the execution
of a definitive agreement and the completion of an appraisal, as
noted above.
In addition, Aston
Bay has retained the services of Renmark Financial Communications
Inc. ("Renmark") to handle its investor relations
activities.
Renmark was
founded in 1999 by Henri Perron and has a head office located in
Montreal, Quebec. Renmark is a full service investor relations firm
representing public companies trading on all major North American
exchanges with a team of approximately 40 investor relations
professionals.
Renmark will
provide to the Company investor relations services such as roadshow
management, organization of events and distribution of corporate
information, and will also provide to the Company research and
feedback regarding market activity. Renmark does not have any
interest, directly or indirectly, in Aston Bay or its securities,
or any right or intent to acquire such an interest.
"We are pleased to
be working with Renmark to reinforce Aston Bay's profile in the
financial community and enhance the visibility of our project
portfolio. We chose Renmark because its standards and methodologies
fit best with the message we wish to communicate to the investing
public," noted Benjamin Cox, Chief Executive Officer of Aston
Bay.
The Company will
pay to Renmark a monthly retainer of $4,000USD starting June
11, 2014 for the first six months, and $6,000USD for
every month thereafter. The term of the agreement with Renmark is
on a month-to-month basis, and the agreement can be terminated by
either party by giving 10 days' written notice to the other
party.
